Taste: Roasty chocolate and yeasty phenols with white pepper and coca cola flavors emerging by mid_palate; after the swallow, the sweet and spicy Belgian aspects emerge, adding some banana and woody flavors to the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Drinkability: A very nice effort, with lots of Belgian influences; very interesting (518 characters)

Still no reviews for this? We tried this a few weeks ago at the Green Flash tasting room and then had it again last night at Small Bar in a tulip glass.

Note: It was served warmer in the Green Flash tasting room, and the coffee flavors were more pronounced here. The Belgian funk taste/smell came through much stronger in the chilled serving at Small Bar.

A: Poured a dark, dark brown (typical stout color) with little head.

S: Stronger coffee smell in the taste at Green Flash. At Small Bar, smelled like a typical stout with a hint of Belgian funk.

T: At Green Flash, tasted like a coffee stout with a hint of Belgian funk. At Small Bar, the taste was a bit more balanced--less coffee flavor and more funk. FWIW, I preferred the taste at Small Bar. Both ways, it was an interesting and fun beer.

M: Not hugely viscous--a bit lighter than some of the Imperial Stouts that I'm used to.

D: While definitely not a session beer, I had no trouble finishing the rather large tulip glass pour that I had at Small Bar. This will be a fun last-beer-of-the-night to mix in occasionally while it's available on tap around town. (1,126 characters)
